InKredulous: The Pilot

This is the pilot episode of InKredulous, a new podcast from the Merseyside Skeptics Society. Taking our inspiration from the likes of Mock the Week, Have I Got News For You and The News Quiz, InKredulous is the quiz show which takes a satirical look at science and pseudoscience news.

Pure awesome. Hilarious, and not just because of your funny accents! All kidding aside, can’t wait until you do more of these. I always enjoy guest panel stuff, especially within the Skeptic community, and would love to see what kind of guests you guys could wrangle into your unique style. Keep it up, fellas!

You know, having listened back I think I’d like to take back some of the stuff I said about Mike Adams – after all, my Grandad warned me never to mess with a man whose BioPhotonic scanner score was over 80,000.

Great show, but I have to confess that the so called “points” awarded coupled with no contestant ever getting the answer completely wrong (unless it served the purpose of an atrocious pun) makes me a bit skeptical. Could the contest possibly have been rigged? I’m looking forward to many more shows to test my hypothesis.

PS Since the claims of a “face on Marsh” are highly dubious, and with NASA’s recent focus on realistic (i.e., cheap) goals, I think we have to await the arrival of the Chinese exploration program for verification.

really enjoyed it guys, thanks. i’m also a bit confused about the points. not that it seems to matter, really, but what are they for? are they for anything? do they count towards anything? are you really keeping track?
i think the answers are a lot of “no” since the tally was never mentioned

Well I finally got the opportunity to listen to the show on my drive into work this morning and I loved it. Makes me want to be on it. I really hope you make this at least a semi-regular show, if not weekly. One thing though (and I can’t remember who said it, so I can’t name and shame them), somebody said that 10^400 was “five times larger” than 10^80. Please have them taken out behind the bike sheds and shot (10^400 is, of course 10^320 times larger than 10^80).
